An academic background in Psychology, altogether with a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) and a Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA) has resulted in various experiences from working with dyslexia, ADHD and bilingual students to English as a Foreign Language teaching. My professional path in EFL began with teaching young learners, almost twelve years ago. I currently manage a language school that provides English as an extracurricular activity to many private schools within the area of Lisbon. This involves recruiting and managing ELT teachers and providing teacher training as well as organising courses and selecting materials. My experience with teaching adults is both within General and Business English. Having begun teaching at undergraduate level at a Business school I went on to working in Ilnova, a language institute in Universidade Nova de Lisboa. I am also teaching English to first year Masters students at the Faculty of Medicine at the aforementioned university. Moreover, I have recently had the opportunity to endeavour in a PhD in Education that has allowed me to merge both my interest and fascination for special needs education and English as a Foreign Language.
